Overall the more successful startups are less likely to move "home." And among successful ones that did, in all but one case, home happened to be a startup hub. E.g. Iminlikewithyou went to NYC, TextPayMe to Seattle. The one exception so far is Wufoo, who moved back to Florida.

I have it on pretty good authority that at least two of the three Wufoos would prefer to move back to the valley.

Our company is also staying in the valley for a while...though we'll eventually need a presence back in Austin (where I moved from for WFP07), because about half of the largest companies we want to sell to are in Texas.

That's pretty much what I was expecting; thanks for the confirmation.
